Robe and surrounding districts, South Australia.

Joe Mortelliti's life long love, from when he was first given a Brownie camera as a boy, was photography. It was the focus of his work life for many years. He loved to travel with his wife Marion to as many parts of Australia as he could. He had the ability to 'see' the beauty of our land in such a way that he could photograph it for the delight of others. These photos are a legacy that he has left us. Used by permission and with appreciation.

Moon rise over the harbour mouth, Robe, South Australia. It is early morning, the moon is rising and fishing boats making their way out to sea for a day's catch. November 2004.

The Obelisk shipping marker is found at Cape Dombey. It was built in 1855 and stands 12 metres high and is 30 metres above sea level. The noticeable red and white bands help guide mariners when boating.

Purple carpet, Lake St Claire area, South Australia. On seeing the purple expanse of colour we spent some time walking around looking how to capture it as an image, and decided to tie it in with the old stone farm house building. November 2004.
